The distribution of selected obesity-associated phenotypes within the groups of HFD mice.

Abstract

<p>The following parameters including body weight at week 24 (<b>A</b>) as well as body weight gained between the week 12 and 24 of the experiment (<b>B</b>), glucose tolerance assessed as the area under the glucose curve (AUC) at week 22 (<b>C</b>) as well as its change (ΔAUC) between the week 12 and 22 (<b>D</b>), and insulin resistance assessed as HOMA-IR at week 22 (<b>E</b>) as well as its change (ΔHOMA-IR) between week 12 and 22 (<b>F</b>) were assessed and their intra-group distributions were plotted. Both male (black bars; <i>n</i> = 82) and female (white bars; <i>n</i> = 73) mice were analyzed.</p
